The C-TAP Compression Grounding Connector provides a compression-style termination for grounding conductor taps. Designed for commercial and industrial electrical systems, this connector joins a larger-diameter run conductor to a smaller tap conductor without requiring cutting of the run wire. Common applications include grounding electrode connections, equipment grounding jumper taps, and bonding conductor extensions in switchgear, transformers, and panelboard installations.

Cross-Reference
Equivalent in form and function to C-TAP compression grounding connectors offered by major electrical manufacturers. Provides comparable wire range coverage and UL467 compliance at reduced procurement cost.
FAQ
Can this connector be used on both copper and aluminum conductors?
The source specifies copper conductor material only. For aluminum conductor applications, verify compatibility with your specific installation requirements and applicable code provisions.
What compression tool is required for installation?
The source does not specify a die index or tool model. Select a compression tool and die set appropriate for the connector's 1/4" run opening and your conductor sizes, following the tool manufacturer's instructions and UL467 installation requirements.

| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YGHC29C29 | irreversible compression grounding, UL 467, direct burial - supply-house pricing typically 2-3x CT $25.85 |
| Panduit StructuredGround | compression grounding series* | match by conductor range |
| nVent ERICO | Cadweld (exothermic alt.) | weld-based alternative - compression installs faster, no powder/mold |
Where & why irreversible compression
NEC 250.64(C) requires grounding electrode conductors to be continuous or joined with irreversible compression connectors or exothermic welding - standard mechanical clamps are not permitted for buried or concealed GEC splices. These UL 467 listed connectors are rated for direct burial in earth or concrete. Range: 3/0-250 MCM / 3/0-250 MCM tap.
How to crimp
Single crimp with a 12-ton class dieless or U-die hydraulic tool (Burndy Y35/Y750 class, index per size). CT stocks compatible crimp tools and dies at distributor pricing - the same tool runs our full lug and grounding line.
